Common questions
- What documents do I need for an NTN?
- Your CNIC, a mobile number and email in your name, and details of your job or business. We send a full checklist when you start.
- Is my NTN the same as my CNIC number?
- For individuals, FBR uses your CNIC number as your registration number once you are registered on IRIS. Registration is still a separate step that has to be completed.
- Can overseas Pakistanis get an NTN?
- Yes. You can register using your NICOP or CNIC without travelling to Pakistan.
